Mateusz,
I went through my archives and found Central Point PC-Tools version 4. It
has a floppy cache called PC-Cache which "should" work.

Don't under estimate the usefulness of DOS.
When I was still working, the engineers tried to use windows to collect
data fron sensors. After many tries they gave up and switched to DOS,
which did a very nice job of it.
One thing Freedos might do is make some changes so that it can
compete with QNX
With my need for the FCB filename parsing, int 21h function 29h patch I
need to use either the patched 2041 or the unofficial 2042 kernel. I do
have fewer errors with the 2042,
Typical error occurs following format:
Drive_IO(WRITE 9, count 1 ) [FAT12/16] [drive A:]
Critical error during DOS disk

Try an older stable kernel (2038 or even 2036)

Could this be the cause of so many diskette formatting failures in FreeDOS?
I have to resort to either booting in Compaq DOS 3.31 or using 3rd party
formatting tools such as FMT or Nformat.

Hello group,
I am playing a bit with a 8086 PC these days, and I noticed an ugly
difference on it between FreeDOS and MSDOS 3.3:
MSDOS 3.3 keeps the content of last read sectors of the diskette in a
cache, while FreeDOS does not. This means that FreeDOS is accessing the
FDD much more often tha
